This supersonic jet needed a radiation meter because it flew twice as high as commercial aircraft
The Concorde jet soared near the edge of space, requiring careful monitoring of radiation levels to ensure passenger safety. In the face of hazardous cosmic storms, pilots were mandated to descend to safer altitudes. While this supersonic aircraft typically flew above the majority of Earth’s atmospheric shield, fluctuations in radiation exposure depended on several factors including altitude, geography, and solar activity. During such storms, safety took precedence over speed.
